I was dead asleep the other night and she started growling and when I opened my eyes she lunged at me! I don't know if it was because it was dark and she couldn't see who I was or what. Then a couple of days later we were all dead asleep and she was between my boyfriend and I and she started growling and lunged at his neck?! It's not just when it's dark either.. sometimes when I go in to give her a kiss she will growl and snap at me. She's never bit either of us but it makes me really sad that she's doing this. Nothing has happened in the past 2 weeks so I don't understand why this started out of nowhere. It really surprises me that she does this to ME because she is seriously obsessed with me. She follows me EVERYWHERE and when we come home she could care less about seeing my boyfriend.. comes straight to me and gives me kisses (He gets mad about this haha ).

She has been a lot better in the past two days for some reason. She's usually really good and lovey dovey with us but she does this out of the blue sometimes and I don't understand why. Have any of you ever had your babies do this?

Yes this has happend to me and my Yorkie is a male.
It happened twice and both times I considered it a full blown
attack! After the second time I banned him from the bed. We
have a wonderful relationship Bud and I so this was a total shock!
I did some research and the only thing I could come up with is he
deceided the bed was "HIS" and I was the intruder. I made him stay
on the floor attaching a 6ft light weight leash to a light weight step in
harness attached to a dresser. His bed and blanket were there as well.
I made sure he could not jump on the bed. I did this for three months
and kept the door to the bedroom shut during the day when I was not
at home. He needed to understand the bed was mine and he was the guest
not the other way around.
It worked! It's been 1 1/2 yrs since the last attack. I also pick him up
on the bed at night. I do not allow him to jump up by himself. I also
keep his blanklet off the bed now. He sleeps on mine.
Good luck. Unless you have personally gone threw such an ordeal you
wouldn't understand how territoral these little ones can get.
Having a dog attack you when your half asleep in the dark is pretty
scary stuff! Thank heavens for pillows!
